Summary
I am a Executive Chef that has come to a point that I no longer want to be in management and slow my life down. I have worked all over this country and in other countries to hone my abilities in the cooking field of restaurant hospitality. I bring to the table all my knowledge and abilities to help a restaurant continue forward in being all they can be. I have worked in breakfast restaurants to fine dining and all in between. Am not afraid to get my hands dirty and work long hours if need be. I am a hard worker that keeps his head calm when the pressure gets stressful, I also enjoy teaching those in the kitchen that want to learn, and I get along with everyone.
